Dive Brief:
The PJM Interconnection will hold a one-time backstop capacity auction starting in September to address a 6.8-GW shortfall from its just-held capacity auction for the delivery year that starts in mid-2028, according to a proposal the grid operator’s board released Monday.
Also, new data centers and other large loads that don’t bring their own power supplies will be curtailed when grid demand levels near emergency conditions, according to a summary of a separate proposal.
PJM’s board expects the grid operator will file the proposals for review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission before the end of this month.
